I get to read a lot of 'research articles' in this line of work, and have sadly come to the conclusion that the vast bulk of them resemble the sort of research parodied in this article. The author makes use of published academic research - and a slightly skewed view of the world - to argue that cigarette smoking has tremendous potential to improve academic performance, but it has been ignored by practitioners everywhere. "More research is needed to clearly delineate when and how cigarette smoking should be integrated into high-performance training programs. Despite substantial federal financial support for endurance athlete development, we are aware of no such research programs at present." Via Scholarly Kitchen.
